Remo

Ironically the theater operator put the song “Remo” from Shankar’s Anniyan during the interval of the movie Remo starring Sivakarthikeyan. I said “ironically” because the movie Remo in a way is Anniyan (for an argument you can list out a lot of differences) if you simply remove Anniyan from that film. With an evident propaganda… Continue reading Remo

Thodari

Thodari from Prabhu Solomon has a running time of 168 minutes. That is roughly three hours inside the theater considering the interval. And imagine the kind of frustration you feel when almost half of that time is spent over irrelevant areas. Thodari is absolute chaos of many subplots just intended to make it look like… Continue reading Thodari

Iru Mugan

I found Iru Mugan really funny for its lazy scripting style. Tamil Cinema always had this obsession towards sci-fi subjects and yet again the lack of a pan global outlook and the really naïve way of depicting events makes this movie largely a laughable one for its on screen seriousness. Except for that dark knight… Continue reading Iru Mugan

Thirunaal

Thirunaal starring Jiiva and Nayanthara is a pointless movie that wanders around aimlessly with random scenes on a very clichéd formula. I am still trying to figure out what precisely this movie is about. It is not a gangster movie and it is not a love story. But all these elements are there in this… Continue reading Thirunaal

Kabali

He is known as the Chuck Norris of India (or should I say Chuck Norris is the Rajinikanth of Hollywood??). But the movie Kabali marks a definite change from that image. Images and conversations that stun you for this striking change is what actually grabbed my attention in this Pa Ranjith movie. Apart from those… Continue reading Kabali

Idhu Namma Aalu

The trailer of the movie had these self mocking elements of Chimbu’s off screen image and what work in the movie Idhu Namma Aalu is those quirky humor parts. With a story that doesn’t really have any stability to its credit, this movie from Pandiraj isn’t that annoying but only worth watching because of the… Continue reading Idhu Namma Aalu

24

Only a very few movies made in India have succeeded in the science fiction fantasy genre. Directed by Vikram K Kumar, the Suriya starrer 24 isn’t an impressive movie on the whole. Trying desperately to be a sophisticated science thriller fantasy, the film never really manages to take us to that zone of a fantasy… Continue reading 24

Theri

Customized justice is a theme that Atlee’s guru Shankar has always used in his movies and with Theri Atlee tries to use that theme in an entertaining way. The story and plot development isn’t necessarily amusing or completely surprising. But the level of simplicity in character equations and the gradual likeability of the whole story… Continue reading Theri
